Synopsis

Charlotte Hilaire has a love-hate relationship with her work as a museum courier. On the one hand, it takes her around the world. On the other, her plan to become a professor is veering dangerously off track.

Yet once in a while, maybe every third trip or so, the job goes delightfully sideways . . .

When a blizzard strands Charlotte in Spain for a few extra days and she's left with glorious free time on her hands, the only question is: Dare she invite her grad school crush for an after-dinner drink on a snowy night?

Accomplished, take-no-prisoners art historian Adrianna Coates has built an enviable career since Charlotte saw her last. She's brilliant. Sophisticated. Impressive as hell and strikingly beautiful.

Hospitable, too, as she absolutely insists Charlotte spend the night on her pullout sofa as the storm rages on.

One night becomes three and three nights become a hot and adventurous long-distance relationship when Charlotte returns to the States. But when Adrianna plots her next career move just as Charlotte finally opens a door in academia, distance may not be the only thing that keeps them apart.

Contains mature themes.

2.5 stars rounded down. 3 stars for the storyline but docking 1 star for the... writing? LDR + academia? Sounds super intriguing! It is very difficult to write LDRs since most of the time, the main characters are physically apart, and Meet Me in Madrid definitely suffered from that. For the first 60%......more

Goodreads review by Sam on October 06, 2021

I'm contemplating running the Madrid half marathon so I figured it was time to read a book set in Madrid. This just didn't live up to my expectations. This book just wasn't for me. It holds so much promise, but the writing is off-putting and it ends up being boring and it could not hold my attention.......more

As a Spaniard, I try to read every lesbian romance related to Spain. So I was in for this story about two academic women meeting in Madrid. Unfortunately for me there was very little shown of Madrid, as our main characters didn't go out in the city, and all their following rendezvous were in the Sta......more

Really sweet adult lesbian romance featuring two Black love interests!! Loved all of the commentary on working in academia, especially art history. The two MCs had really good chemistry as well.......more
